- Rundown walkthrough of my 2005 N70 Hilux
Throw any question in the comments! Keen to see if you guys want more of the N70 or the LN106? If you want more details or want more 4wding content?
Been struggling to find the time to edit and film whilst working 50-60 hour weeks, I've got alot planned for more videos in the future. I'm enjoying throwing them together and its something i've always enjoyed doing just never got around to making it happen.

😊the best mate 👌 god bless enjoy 😉
That's a really nice set up mate. Well done. I've got a 2010 SR5 diesel (manual) that I've had since new. I've got 430000 odd kms on it. Factory serviced until the warranty expired and now do all my own servicing (I'm not a mechanic) factory bullbar and winch, with a 2 inch lift. Still running the factory alloys (15 inches) and run Bridgestone AT's which have been a good tyre for me. It's a daily driver with a Silverback Gal tray, but she gets a lot of use with camping etc, done a few knarly tracks up here in Nth Qld and it's not let me down. They're a great rig.
Thank mate!! They’re a workhorse and a good mix between reliability, capability and comfort. And still simple enough to sort if things so go sideways
Cheers for taking the time to make this video you have given me a couple of ideas for the next stage of my n70's life and dismissed any reliability concerns i once had for the petrol variant, my 1kd in a 08 workman is just about to tick over 400 kms 140 of those with me and the usual ebay performance bolt ons (less than the cost of a new set of 35's) with a ecu reflash I went from 88kw atw to 147kw atw with only a 1.5 psi increase in peak boost and overall better highway economy and lower egt's and hasn't shown any signs of slowing down yet apart from stripping 3rd and 4th gears/syncro hubs in 3 gearboxes to date which i can live with, look forward to your future videos thanks from New Zealand
Thanks for watching man! As long as they’re serviced regularly and properly maintained I see no reason why any hilux shouldn’t get past 500,000k’s and still be reliable. Would love to go wheeling in NZ absolutely stunning country!
You got my attention with the modification you did on the wiring regarding the front diff lock disconnect, thereby having low range in 2wd. I thought about doing this a lot, never got so far as to actually do it, care to share some info regarding the wiring?
It’s been years since I installed the switch, I’m sure if you search forums enough you can find the wire to tap the switch into. Only works for the SR5 with the ADD feature too.
Super handy and simple mod 👍🏼
First time viewer here! Solid N70 Spacey mate! Love the setup and the beach mang’s! 🤙🏼
Cheers for the comment man! It’s been a great Ute
@@HaydnKamp - Yeah they’re great! Got a D4D 2011 N70 Spacey myself, the V6 looks like a heap of fun!
@@DanielMika865 big fan of the extra cabs!
Redlining up the dune, I was waiting for a piston to go bang, the. Realised you have the 4ltr. Phew
Gotta clear the carbon out once in a while 😅
Also, if you're ever looking for more power have a look at the superchargers for that 1GR-FE motor, they came factory from the 2008 TRD Hilux 4000SL which has the same motor so if you can find one they pack a bit of a punch and would bolt straight on. It's a Magnuson MP90 Supercharger if you wanna take a look at it
Yeah they move aye!! My old boy had two TRD’s.
I’d like to throw a bullet charger on it with a cooler one day
Awesome looking rig. 👌 👍😎🍻
Cheers mate 👍🏼 🍺
Excellent vid mate. Love the rig and you’re good at explaining things.
Thanks Andrew! Appreciate it
What an awesome rig. I especially love the 2wd low range reverse - I am going to wire that up myself now. (I have the same car but diesel dual cab). I have been wanting 33's but always figured I needed a 3" lift (only have 2"). For the 2 inch body lift you only had to adjust the radiator? And with the side steps, basically you would just have a gap if you didn't cut and weld them right? Not such a big deal yeah. I've taken a fair few notes from this run through, and got some great wish list options, thanks.
Cheers man!
Yeah low range 2wd is such a handy mod!
For 33’s you could get away without a body lift just might have to space the bump stop a little bit and do some trimming.
If your body lifting it, it’s just radiator and steering extension. If you have a tub you’ll need to extend the filler too.
No big deal if you don’t lift bar work up to suit the cab, just looks funny.
Well done brus need to do more vids with the ln tho! Good shit bro
Can do! Wheeling or more walkthroughs?
@@HaydnKamp both!! I’ve just gotten a ln106 and your the only person on UA-cam with decent vids on them
Awesome vid, why did you go with the petrol, I am in the market for a lux but not sure which is better for touring. What's your opinion?
Personal preference. Have spent a
lot of time in three V6 petrols naturally aspirated, two TRD models with the supercharged V6 petrol, and two 3.0L diesels all in the N70 hiluxs. Driven all motor options with manual and auto behind them and I’d prefer the petrol over the diesel everyday.
They drive a lot nicer and are very reliable cheaper servicing cost also and cheaper to repair, also there’s the argument of spending more money initially to get a 3.0L diesel and on top of that, then spending money on larger turbo, front mount intercooler, larger injectors, custom dyno tune, larger exhaust, custom hiflo airbox and snorkel. All to make the diesel just as fast and drivable as a stock petrol motor.
But it’s a personal preference, some people just like the idea of black smoke coming out of the exhaust and spending thousands on their motor to beat a Hyundai Getz from the lights and that’s their thing 🤷🏼♂️
Hey Mate awesome rig I'm glad to see all the years of work has paid off. Currently running a 07 spacy myself with a 2inch and 32s looking at running 33s with a body lift, Did you have to pay to get your car engineered for your lift and tires or did a mod plate cover it. Cheers man
A lot of works gone into it over the years and I’m loving where it’s at. Can get mod plate for 2inch lift, 2 inch body and 33’s 🤘🏻
More of the N70 content would be amazing!
A bit of 4wding or a bit more in-depth walkthrough?
@@HaydnKamp Bit of both but the in-depth walkthroughs are really good
I have 2005 Petrol hilux as well, I’ve have mine since new and love it, however I have just found out it’s towing capacity is 2250kgs, I want to tow a small caravan, do you know it the towing capacity can be increased?
Yeah sure can as far as I’m aware
Top stuff mate to good :)
Recently discovered and enjoying your videos, well done! What sort of mileage you get from the 4.0L, best and worst if known?
I get minimum 400k’s to a tank and max 500 with the current setup.
Tank is 75L
I'm with you bro fuck the diesels the 1g is a beast of a motor. I love my n70 best car I've ever owned
Same here man!
nice vid mate
How is the behavior of the front locker when you are in two-wheel drive? It makes some noise? Your truck is amazing congratulations.
Because it’s an SR5 it has the ADD (auto diff disconnect) which disconnects one of the front axles when in 2wd. The locker then doesn’t ratchet with only one wheel driving it so there is no noise or change in driving behaviour normally.
However in the past I’ve had to temporarily lock that feature so both axles are connected like a conventional ifs without manual hubs. And when driving on the road it did make noise and I could feel it clicking through the steering wheel. Felt horrible when turning tight corners, made me replace the ADD unit pretty quickly 😅
Cheers man!
@@HaydnKamp Awesome. Thank you for your answer. I am definitely interested in that product. Cheers from Mexico.
whats the room like in the back seats would it be comfy and easy to have someone or a dog in there
Easy enough room for a dog, I’ve done a few road trips with two sometimes three mates over 6 ft in the back and they survived. Wouldn’t say they could feel their legs after a few hours of driving but that’ll teach them for not having a 4wd 😅
Awesome rig. Who makes the headers?
Currently running Beaudessert Exhaust headers
Hey Haydn, I'm about to buy a 2005 SR5 Extra cab, (Exact same as yours but without all the awesome mods) What would you recommend as the first few things to modify?
Hard to say without knowing what you want to do with it Will. I’d say take it on a few trips and get a feel for it, you’ll soon know what you need vs what you want 🤘🏻
Fuck yeh
When did you get the bullbar mate? Heard they don’t make the alloy ones anymore
About 6-7 years ago
two hot hiluxs 🥵
Cheers man!
Love a 1gr 🥵
I love it!
are you running a diff drop
Running a ‘Phat Bars’ diff drop kit, highly recommend. Corrects CV angles for suspension lift and adds an extra arm to solve the weak point from the standard mounting brackets
@@HaydnKamp just installed the same kit, do the phat bars bash plates fit with the drop or is some modification required?
@@loughlin1575 They make bash plates to suit standard mounts or diff drop
